>>6172702Well, I think empathy is when you litteraly feel what your brain think someone else might feel. The best way I can describe this is when you watch someone in pain and you feel that pain or distress expressed by that person yourself. I think understanding the concept in depth by the means of thought is something different, I wrote a text (not here) about this a while back and I'm sure it differs a bit from what I say now but it was something along the lines with this anyway.
>casualityCasuality is as you say cause and effect. That something is caused by something else prior to it, that everything can be traced back with this. That there always is a cause and an effect and that nothing can be without a cause. Simply put you are able to write the reply to this because I in the first place was able to write this answer which you reply to, in order to do this I would have to have the instrument suitable for me to do so, this instrument (this laptop) would have to have been gotten by me at some point and further back the technology which enables me to do so would have to have been invented by whoever did so. In turn, your parents would have to have had sex at the exact moment they did and everything would have to have happened the way they did for you to even have been born, this way everything can be traced back. As I have argued before I don't see how anything would work outside of this.
